The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 / GLE 63 S (W167) Evolution Line S-ME/T/7H
The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 / GLE 63 S (W167) Evolution Line S-ME/T/7H is a premium exhaust upgrade that merges reduced weight, enhanced sound, and notable performance gains. Engineered from high-grade lightweight titanium, this system delivers 34.2% weight savings when compared to the standard AMG Performance exhaust system. Through rigorous testing and precise craftsmanship, Akrapovic offers an ideal solution for drivers seeking a deeper and more resonant exhaust tone without sacrificing everyday usability.
Weight Reduction
Akrapovic’s focus on weight savings is evident in the 9.2 kg reduction from the original 26.9 kg, taking the total down to just 17.7 kg. This substantial drop allows for more responsive handling. Lower weight means faster acceleration and improved cornering stability, which can be especially beneficial during spirited driving. Despite this reduction, durability remains uncompromised. The titanium construction withstands high temperatures, and the fully sandblasted exterior resists corrosion to maintain a pristine finish over time.
Enhanced Sound Character
One of the most appealing aspects of the Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 / GLE 63 S (W167) Evolution Line S-ME/T/7H is its carefully tuned acoustic profile. The system includes three exhaust valves: one on each side of the muffler and another in the active X-connection. These valves are operated by a specially developed control kit, allowing the exhaust to transition from a pure, deep tone at idle to a more pronounced burble and eventually a high-frequency roar as the revs climb. As a result, the driver experiences a soundtrack that matches the vehicle’s dynamic presence on the road.
Performance Gains of Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 / GLE 63 S (W167) Evolution Line S-ME/T/7H
Dynamometer tests confirm that this exhaust system increases power and torque. Gains of 6.3 kW (8.6 hp) and 21.3 Nm are achieved at 2,800 rpm, enabling better throttle response and a more satisfying mid-range pull. These figures were measured against the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupé fitted with the AMG Performance exhaust system, illustrating how the Evolution Line S-ME/T/7H can help unlock additional potential from the factory-tuned V8 engine. The best part is that this upgrade requires no remapping, meaning you can enjoy the improvements straight out of the box.
Tailpipe Design and Construction
Visually, this exhaust features new tailpipes constructed from hand-crafted carbon fibre with a titanium inner sleeve. The housings for the valves, the active X-connection, and the core reinforcements are all cast in the in-house foundry for maximum precision and reliability. Each element works together to create a distinctive aesthetic that complements the GLE’s muscular styling. Furthermore, the titanium material enhances the overall robustness, ensuring long service life even under demanding conditions.
ECE Approval and Installation
The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 / GLE 63 S (W167) Evolution Line S-ME/T/7H is ECE type approved for cars equipped with an Otto Particulate Filter (OPF). Because it meets these standards, the exhaust can be installed without legal concerns in many regions. Additionally, no ECU adjustments are required, making installation more convenient for owners and specialists alike. The recommended installation time is around 300 minutes, typically ensuring the system can be fitted in one shop visit.
